AB Monitored  anesthesia  care  (MAC)  is  an  anesthetic  technique  that  achieves  many  of  the  similar  goals  as  general  anesthesia:  sedation,  amnesia,  anxiolysis,  and  analgesia.  Monitored  anesthesia  care  carries  the  advantage  of  invoking  less  physiologic  disturbance  and  allowing  for  a  more  rapid  recovery  and  discharge  rate  than  general  anesthesia.  While  requiring  patient  acceptance  and  cooperation,  it  often  leads  to  greater  patient  satisfaction.  By  using  drugs  with  favorable  pharmacokinetic  profiles,  many  outpatient  operations  and  satellite  procedures  are  now  performed  under  a  MAC  technique.
